I love this course! I've enjoyed all the videos, theories and even assignments. None of them bored me. I love the way the speakers explained each module. This isn't time-consuming as well. I was able to finish the whole course early and this time - I'm starting to do the next course. More power! :)

This course is really useful and helpful for any teacher around the world. It has great resources, content and tasks. It gave me a lot of information and knowledge about being an excellent teacher. I would like also to say massive thanks to Dr Shane Dixon, he is a professional and unique teacher.

Thanks a lot for such amazing opportunity to take this course and get my 1st certificate!!!

It was perfect experience!!! I got much of positive emotions of doing different projects and getting to know new and so useful information!

Thanks a lot for everything!

With best wishes, Anastasiia Shypilova.

Realmente un valioso recurso donde se presentan alternativas pedagógicas para alentarnos a la aventura de enseñar ingles, disfruté cada uno de los vídeos y me parece genial la forma como los instructores dan sus explicaciones en cada tópico. Recomiendo 100% este curso para nuevos participantes...

I would like to thank Dr. Dixon, Dr. Shewell and Dr. Haraway for this amazing course. I have learned a lot about teaching languages, specifically EngEnglish, thanks to your innovative approach in teaching. Thank you! I am very thrthrilled to continue learning in the rest of your TESOL programme.

I have seriously acquired skills I never thought I would obtain such as studying and doing assessments online. I do appreciate that i was given this opportunity especially with the financial aid i was provided with to obtain this skill am sure it will give me greater heights. thanks once again.

Dr. Shane Dixon explained the materials really well. It really stick in my mind and I can remember all of it easily. I really hope that later, when I become a teacher I can be just like him. I can present the materials in a fun and engaging way and in an easy way where student can understand it.

A perfect guide for beginners. Gives a brief outline on the various aspects of teaching a language and explains how to begin and guides us in developing our own teaching philosophy. The assignments encourages critical thinking and helps us understand the principles and crux of teaching English.

As an English teacher, I would recommend this course to each person who is interested in making impact in the lives of your ESL students by going deeper pedagogy of ESL teaching. I learnt the practical aspects of many pedagogical concepts. Our instructor, Dr. Shane Dixon is an amazing teacher.

That's amazing! When I was about to leave my current teaching position, get TESOL certificate and go abroad looking for a better job - I had no idea how motivating this course could be! Now I will estimate not the salary I can receive in the future, but the skills I should acquire before that.

This was a wonderful insight into language teaching principles and techniques. It made so much clearer how my own style of teaching needs to take into account the learners' purpose in taking an English course, as well as my own reasons for teaching it. Thank you for this learning opportunity!

I want to thank everyone who worked on this project, especially Dr. Shane Dixon, for his efforts and fun lessons. After four years of studying ESL at University. Surprisingly, there is still much left to learn! Also, my special thanks for Coursera making me be able to enroll in this course :)

Kudos to Dr. Dixon and all the other teachers who gave us a wonderful and meaningful journey as we gained various knowledge on how language acquisition is best taught to our learners. More power to Coursera, to Arizona State University, and the whole team. Keep up this amazing and noble work!

My first Teach English Now! certificate ever. Teacher Shane Dixon is so humorous and erudite. The provided knowledge is well-organized and useful. This course is definitely worth my time and effort. I want to send my appreciation and biggest thanks to ASU and Coursera team. Thank you so much!

This was a wonderful course which far exceeded my expectations. I actually looked forward to each lesson, and I am motivated to continue on to get my TESOL certificate through Teach English Now. Dr. Dixon and team definitely practiced what they preached by keeping it fresh and interesting.

Great content, effective delivery and thought provoking essay questions. Bear in mind that you get out of the course what you put in. Ensure to use the assignments as reflections of the modules which you can go back to during your teaching careers and use as forms of professional development.

This course is really amazing and describes the foundations of English teaching like telling a story and providing great metaphors. I highly recommend it to those who have teaching experience but want to know the technical terms of teaching English. I will continue this great specialization!

Hello friends. I just started my learning after a nice gap of years and i thought to give it a try and i am happy to say that i could do it as the course is not that tough and very understandable and more over you get to read so many reviews. I really enjoyed completing the course. Thankyou.

This course is really engaging. I really enjoy the way how information was presented. It is not merely a lecture, but well-structured chunks of information associated with some metaphors. Due to such creative approach of information presentation it is easy to follow and remember all points.

Thanks a lot for allowing me to take this course. It really helped me a lot to regain my passion for teaching that I have lost...

I can now focus on the techniques newly acquired to help me in my teaching and thus, assist students whose aims is to acquire the language and not just learn it.

Everything about this course is great! It doesn't just provide a professional certification, but provides provides knowledge about teaching in a fun and interactive way. I loved the style of presenting the course material by the professors and all the evaluation activities included in it!

These people are teachers of teachers and really understand how to make classes engaging. They have put a LOT of effort into creating all of these lessons and acting out different portions. Each video is 10 mins max and most are shorter so they really hold your attention and go very fast!

The material was presented in an inspirational, easy-to-understand manner, with great metaphors to help one remember the lesson. I really enjoyed the teaching example that used Haru's story, it was inspirational, and it was nice to see a small part of how teaching works in the classroom.

It's my pleasure and honor to enroll for your course. My feeling now is ineffable when I received such a certification from an elite tertiary educational institution. On the top of my gratitude to Dr.Shane Dixon and his team for his indefatigable effort to design such a consummate course.

Thanks a lot for this opportunity. There we a lot of useful hints such as metaphors, quotes, and principles to which I have not paid attention before. For me, 80/20 and teacher burn-out really were the best. Besides, the two professors teach lessons fantastic, friendly and clearly good.
